Chapter 16: Vengeance
"Hurry up with that webcam, Carlos!" Dr. Larne ordered. "We have to record this footage on file. Is the disk ready for writing?"
"Almost..."
"Don't give me almost! Do it now! And make several copies! We'll need to give it to the other scientists and some potential sponsors. We could make billions out of this discovery," Dr. Larne straightened his tie and patted back what was left of his hair. He turned triumphantly to Jun Kazama, who stood motionless though her wings moved ever so slightly. Her long raven hair lay softly on her shoulders and the sleeveless top and slacks she wore fit around her statuesque body like a glove. Her eyes, still in that golden color, showed anything but emotion.
"Ready, Dr. Larne," Carlos nodded and stepped back from the computer after clicking the record button. Several geneticists around them took out their clipboards, their pens hovering over the paper in anticipation . A few seconds later, the sponsors were escorted in the laboratory to witness the unveiling of G Corporation's latest project.
"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed colleagues and guests," Dr. Larne nodded at the audience. "I give you the culmination of over twenty years worth of research. This, is Jun Kazama...or formerly, Jun Kazama, the carrier of the potent Angel gene. Now, she is known as Project Eve."
A series of "oohs" and "aahs" resounded through the room followed by an applause.
"As you may have heard from the briefing a while ago, we discovered a genetic abnormality...or rather, a genetic marvel, in the body of a man named Kazuya Mishima: the Devil gene. Some of you have even sponsored that previous project. Six years ago, Mr. Mishima himself brought us another unique specimen: the complete opposite of a devil, which is the biblical celestial being called an angel. That specimen was Ms. Kazama.
"We have also told you of their two offspring, who carry both the Angel and Devil gene. As we speak, several men are tracking down these two carriers so we can conduct further experiments. In the mean time, we have subjected Ms. Kazama's body to higher concentrations of the so-called mixed gene, to enhance her powers.
"The results can be found in the pamphlets but you only need not look at the charts and graphs to see the outcome. Project Eve's physical transformation is clear in the wings," Dr. Larne patted Jun's left wing and held up her arm. "The markings on her skin are the most obvious change. We have not yet deciphered what all these mean, but we saw similar ones on her and Kazuya's son, Jin Kazama. Hopefully, if we get hold of their daughter, Asuka Kazama, we will be able to see those markings on that child too and-"
"Kazuya..."
"Huh?" Dr. Larne swiveled his head towards Jun, as did most of the people in the lab.
"Jin...Asuka..." Jun's golden eyes suddenly became very alert, moving over her surroundings before focusing on Dr. Larne. What the scientist saw made him step back and cringe.
"Who...did...this...?" Dr. Larne shot his head up to stare at his niece, who looked down quietly at him from the podium.
"YOU!" he pointed an accusing finger at Dr. Vetra. "You reversed the process! I should've known I couldn't trust you! Guards! Take her!"
"NO!" Carlos Roesch rushed up the stairs and pulled Vivian Vetra to the exit while several men followed in their trail. However, a series of horrified shouts distracted the guards from their orders. When they turned to look, they froze.
"Ka...za...ma...ss...stop..." Dr. Larne yelped in pain as Jun's fingers constricted his throat. His eyes began to bulge and his head appeared to be swelling from the pressure. The guards opened fire on Jun but it was like an invisible shield had formed around her, stopping the bullets.
"Larne..." Jun hissed, her ominous voice reflecting the evil red glow of her eyes. A loud crack was heard. Dr. Larne's head leaned sharply to his side. With one, effortless swing of her arm, Jun threw the scientist's limp and lifeless body towards the computers.
Kazuya, Jin and Asuka stared with wide eyes at the blank screen of the computer, unable to believe everything they had just witnessed. It was a long time before any of them found the strength to speak.
"She...killed him..." Asuka squeaked. "She actually killed him..."
"Rightfully so, mind you," Kazuya closed his laptop, the fury in his voice, frightening.
"But she remembers us now," Jin offered. "There might still be a chance. We could still save her..."
"Maybe..." Kazuya nodded.
"So...what do we do now?" Asuka asked, unsure of what to make of the situation.
"We go to Nepal," Kazuya started the engine.
